Excellence in Acoustics Awards scheme

July 2013 -- Acoustic trade association, Association of Noise Consultants (ANC), has launched a set of awards to promote and recognise excellence among UK acoustic consultants and raise the profile of the acoustics industry.

The awards, due to be presented on Tuesday 8th October in Birmingham’s Crowne Plaza hotel, divides into four sections: Environmental Acoustics, sponsored by Bruel & Kjaer; Architectural Acoustics, sponsored by Ecophon; Building Services Acoustics, sponsored by IAC; and Sound Insulation Design, sponsored by Robust Details. The ANC expects to add more Awards in subsequent years.

The Awards are looking for examples of work that display innovation - and originality - in acoustic design or approach to a particular project. There are no restrictions on size or type of project, but work must have been undertaken in the last two years (but need not be complete) and the consultancy must be in operating in the UK, although the project may be elsewhere.

The Awards will be presented at a Dinner following the ANC conference on 8th October.

EndsAbout Association of Noise Consultants The ANC is a trade association for acoustic, noise and vibration consultancy practices in the UK. Membership has grown to over 115 member companies, including several international members and representing nearly eight hundred consultants.http://www.association-of-noise-consultants.co.uk/
